ter Griffin, town. Mr. Ward, an ex-
pert shrt pnell shell maker, is in charge
of the manwfacturing of shells under
manager Griffin at tha Canada Bed
factory at Chesley, and will start work
today on a contract of 25,000, There
will be two shifts of about 50 filen
working day and night. The dailies
had it in big headlines that the Obee-
ley Bakery was making shells. There
are two bakeries in Chesley and they
are busy turning out the staff of life
instead of munitions of destruction.
Some Nerve.
Listowel Banner last week said:—
The Banner entered suit this week a•
gainst one subscriber in town who has
taken the paper for the past four years
and when asked to settle up said he
had never ordered it and refused to
pay. We don't know whether he did
or not. It was before our time, But
we do know that he has been receiving
the paper regularly and that therefore
according to the postal lawe, he is re-
sponsible for the pay. Imagine the
nerve of a fellow who would take a
paper for four years, never refuse it,
and then when asked to settle say he
had never ordered it. We hope other
papers haven't any subscribers as
"cheap" as this one on their list.

HEN Harry Platt and
that girl friend,'of the
preens (I forget liar
name) were married;
it was ono of those
my -goodness- gracious-'
lust•thinktof-that ; at-
fairs, with no one in
on the secret except , the suburban
minister Who tied the ktiot, the cab-
man who drive them out therh and the
girl from the minister's kitchen, who,
was a ivitness,•and lefta thdtnb-print
of grease on tale certificate (she was
frying doughnuts at the time) and•the'
minister's wife (at least'the name Zeas'
the same). Let's. see, whore was I?
Oh, yes, :when, the Platte .were mar-
ried, it' being that kind of a wedding,
there was no chance to send them El
wedding gift SA I would have liked to
do,. or to have • done, (whichever ls.
proper, or, grammatical, though I'm
sure I ' cart never tell • which),
But Mr. Platt is one of the nicest:men
in the office, that is, he' was before
that happened. So'I felt we ought to
do something .for •him, just to show
our good will `and, anyhow, we've
dug down for, others wtj thought much
less of, so wy shouldn't we for him?
but 'the wedding Was over, without in-
vitations:, or even a reception, and
they were hof sekeeping before we
knew it. So what could we. do? •
Well, Just then . -
Chfistinas • came
along net 'just then �.
but ,two months
piker the wedding.
They •, were. 'mar-

two months, but
that's close
enough. When •, 9%

just before it.

and give them' a it

just to show our
good : will. Every- •
body thought 1t A • • ' .
was a • • • splehdid
:idea, , that is,' of -course, except Mr.
Platt; "whom; of course,'•I didn't con -
cult. Sol got up a 'subscription paper
'and vent to everybody, in' the office
(except»Mi.. Platt, of course). • I got
$26.60, including ten cents from the
janitor,, who -wasn't expected, to give
airything but wonted to, give some=
thing, which shows just how . popular
Mr. Platt was with *everyone in the
building, when a janitor 'even would
chip in. ' ' ••

kinds of ideas and tastes, then'Christ=

noyance.'to the dignity of a real trou-
ble.. And that's what 1 was up akainst.
I thought It would, be nice to `get •aii

A Few Things
We Want to be Known
E
We have two distinct prices, namely --r CASH and CREDIT
and the cash price is exactly the same as the lowest price in any
Canadian catalogue.
In fact we make it a point to procure boots and shoes sim-
ilar to those advertised in catalogues, besides other lines which
we think suited for our trade and in addition ecwe tack the
soles and sew the rips on shoes bought from us FREE OF
CHARGE.
If it should so happen that we have not got the exact kind
you desire we will procure them for you on the distinct under-
standing that if they do not suit, you are under no obligation to
to keep them.
Another matter which we wieh fully understood is—suppos-
ing you live 2. 3, 0 or in fact anywhere within 20 mis of Wingham
we will send shoes to you on approval—we pay postage and if
what we send you is not satisfactory return them to us and we
will refund not only the cash you have sent but also the return
postage. Try it some day your are busy and cannot get to town.
We will do the rest.
We take butter and eggs in trade and allow the very highest
prices. For instance, we paid 22 cents for eggs last week and
this week the price will be 21 cents. We wish it understood
however that when eggs or butter are to apply on accout the
price would be one cent less.
We do shoe repairing as usual—Either bring it to our store.
or to Mr. T. D. Holmes, and same will receive prompt attention.
